Housing Authority in District Of Columbia

Housing authorities across District of Columbia administer public housing communities and rental voucher programs funded by HUD to help low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities afford safe housing in communities throughout the state.

Residents of District of Columbia seeking affordable housing assistance should contact their local housing authority immediately — waitlists for public housing and Section 8 vouchers are often years long, so early application is essential.

Residents of District of Columbia who are on a housing authority waitlist should update their contact information any time they move or change phone numbers, as missing a notification letter can result in removal from the waitlist and the need to reapply.
